I have experimented with a lot of camp seat options - the weight is key for me. This thing is the BEST solution I have found. 10 oz is lighter than almost anything out there and the sleeping pad is already in my pack. As a bonus this thing works with 20" Thermarest and Klymit pads - all lengths. Yup, the short ones work just as well. Not only that, but the warmth is real... you can actually feel your heat being reflected back to you (with a Thermarest pad) making this a great 3 season option. Well worth the investment.

I used many predecessor versions of this chair when I was younger. As I got older, I quit carrying a chair (carrying the lightest possible pack became a way to extend my backpacking career without wrecking my knees and hips.) However, after 65, I started looking for a comfortable chair and was delighted to find this.Another reviewer correctly pointed out that when you fold it in thirds (as shown in the picture), you end up having to assemble and disassemble it several times a day. However, I soon found out there’s a better way: don’t fold it in thirds. I inflate my Neoair (an older All Season rectangular model) almost full, and insert it into the chair as shown - except that I don’t double over the seat.

I inflate my Neoair (an older All Season rectangular model) almost full, and insert it into the chair as shown - except that I don’t double over the seat. Instead, I let that bottom third extend out of the slot in the bottom of the chair, and now have a lounge chair. My legs and feet are also now elevated out of the dirt (or mud), and are insulated from the ground when it’s cold. I am careful about where I sit, since that bottom third of the pad is not protected by the chair material; if you’d like, you could carry a ground sheet on which to set the chair.When it’s time to go to bed, I don’t disassemble it. Instead, I just unbuckle the straps and let it lay flat, still inserted in the chair. The next morning (after using it at breakfast - no assembly required), I let the air out of it, fold the bottom third into the chair, fold the chair in half, and roll it side to side. Now I have a bundle that is about the same size as my tent poles, and I pack it down an inside corner of my pack (you could also strap it to the side or across the bottom of the pack, if you have the right compression straps.) If I want to use it at lunch, I just get it out, inflate it, and I’m good to go. (Inflation is simpler with the little two ounce battery powered pump Thermarest sells.)For half a pound, the ability to rest my back in camp is well worth it. With my back rested, I sleep better; when I sleep better, I perform better on the trail the next day.

Decent chair, very lightweight. I had a very specific use case, I wanted to see whether it would be able to sit me upright in bed to help with sleep apnea while in the woods. It wasn't able to do that, but that's not what it's designed for anyway. The reason I ended up returning it was because I couldn't justify keeping it as a chair. It's a little gimmicky. Sure it makes a nice chair but you're still sitting on the ground. And it's hard to really lean back into and be comfortable. It doesn't support the back very well. Almost, but not quite. I'll save my money and spend it on an actual lightweight chair instead.

Bought this almost 3 y ago to replace a misplaced, decades-old Therm-a-Rest chair kit and have used it for many backpacking trips. I love its compactness & weight and have packed it in a backpack's lower outer pocket and inside. Pads I've tested include: Therm-a-Rest 3/4" & ProLite, Nemo Tensor Insulated, and 25+ y old RidgeRest closed cell foam. All obviously have varying degrees of comfort & ease of assembly, but hey, a backpacker should possess more than a modicum of tolerance & patience. You will have to finesse any pad into the chair's frame. Finickiness will be immediately evident.Self-inflating Therm-a-Rest pads were the easiest to fit into the chair and had the "most level" and stable performance.

All obviously have varying degrees of comfort & ease of assembly, but hey, a backpacker should possess more than a modicum of tolerance & patience. You will have to finesse any pad into the chair's frame. Finickiness will be immediately evident.Self-inflating Therm-a-Rest pads were the easiest to fit into the chair and had the "most level" and stable performance. The Nemo requires very little inflation to fold & fit, and too much inflation after that results in the chair having a rolling/rocking action. This pad needs to be fine tuned into the kit. Nonetheless, it makes for a comfortable & cozy chair. Testing the RidgeRest was more out of curiosity than anything else. It had to be folded-up on the edges, but the cradled feel was just fine; the doubled-over bottom & top still made for a comfortable seat & back support.Concern: The pad will come in contact with the ground. Search the site for items that could puncture an inflatable pad.Suggestions: Don't bring the chair's mesh sack on a trip (cuts weight & it's just another item to stow when the chair is in use). Place the chair on a sheet of heavy plastic or Tyvek to help prevent punctures to an inflatable pad and keep the chair & pad cleaner; cut a groundsheet large enough to accommodate the chair, food stuff sacks, pot, etc., at your cook site.Bottom line: Chair kits are a backpacking 'creature comfort', not always a necessity. However, reclining on one in camp after a tiring day feels really good and sitting on it while cooking and eating is an extra treat. I never bring one in winter or if the trip's forecast is mostly rain [want to keep the pad dry]. This chair kit is lighter weight than most, relatively easy to medium tussle-ing to assemble, and because a multitude of sleeping pads fit to provide homelike comfort, it should be a consideration.
Product was exactly as advertised. It is easy to set-up and easy to adjust. I highly recommend this chair kit. I will primarily be using this in my tent.The only thing I would change is the location of the clips on the adjustment straps. I have very little head-room in my small conical backpacking hot tent and will be sitting up from a prone position to connect the straps and clips to form the chair. For me it would be easier if the clips were at the thigh instead of the armpit area. But I am old with bad shoulders.
Okay--it is a good product but not a great product. Here's the good: it's reasonably lightweight enough for backpacking (but not for ultralight fanatics). And, once it is setup, it IS comfortable and easily adjustable for your body weight and how upright or leaned-back you want to sit. Note that this does NOT have legs--you are basically sitting on a leg-less chair. Here's how it works and why it's also not so great. The product is completely unpadded. That's why it's so lightweight. The padding comes from using YOUR not-included self-inflating sleeping pad. You could also use a foam pad like a Ridgerest Classic. To set it up, you fold over 1/3 the length of the sleeping pad and insert this double-thick part in the bottom of the chair, and then insert the remaining ... MoreOkay--it is a good product but not a great product.

To set it up, you fold over 1/3 the length of the sleeping pad and insert this double-thick part in the bottom of the chair, and then insert the remaining single-thick 1/3 of the pad into the chair back. You CAN'T do this if the pad is fully inflated. You're best off letting it partially inflate, leaving the air valve open, inserting the pad into the chair, then closing the air valve. Then, you sit down and adjust the strap lengths until comfortable. So, some "assembly" required to setup. But here's the real issue: you need that pad to sleep on! So, now it's time to sleep, and you have to let the straps out, wrestle out the bottom 2/3 of the pad from the chair, get the pad fully inflated, and then you're good to sleep. But THEN, the next day, if you want to use the chair, you need to "reassemble" it, etc., repeat each day. One caveat: if you don't care about having any padding under your butt, you can use the chair without any padding at all in which case this is quite a fantastic product, right? :-) The construction seems quite solid and the chair is available for 20" and 25" inch self-inflating sleeping pads. My sleeping pad is standard length but it will work with any length pad.
I have a Thermarest Classic and the chair that went with it. Both are Forest Green in color, and I have used them for many years (decades). I recently upgraded to a Thermarest TrailPro mattress, and want a chair for it. But this one is orange! Bright colors are out of place in the wilderness, and any equipment that is brightly colored is automatically disqualified from being a part of my outfit. We go there to blend in and be in harmony with nature, not to stand out with garish colors. Taking brightly-colored gerar into the outdoors is obnoxious and inconsiderate. I would buy this chair if it was made in an earth-tone color, but will never buy it in orange. I will try to continue to use my old chair, even though it's harder to reach the valve since the new mat is ... MoreI have a Thermarest Classic and the chair that went with it.

I tested this product at home to check which size I needed (I have a NeoAir and went with the 20" rather than the 25" - the labelling doesn't indicate which size fits with which product, unfortunately), and I didn't think it was that comfortable so was almost going to take it back - duh! Of course compared to my couch its not great, buuuuuuut when I took it backpacking I was SO happy I had it! To be able to sit and read in comfort, with back support was lovely (although no lower back support, but could jimmy that with a fleece or something). I'm not sure I'd take it on longer backpacks where there is less time around camp and weight is crucial (even though it's not that heavy, everything adds up), but for shorter ones where there is more opportunity for relaxing, I ... MoreI tested this product at home to check which size I needed (I have a NeoAir and went with the 20" rather than the 25" - the labelling doesn't indicate which size fits with which product, unfortunately), and I didn't think it was that comfortable so was almost going to take it back - duh!

Prefered the older models that were closed at the ends. Docked one star. I'll probably sew mine shut at the bottom end to reduce the likelihood of the mattress getting a hole from directly contacting the ground. Otherwise an excellent, light weight item that provides serious comfort at the end of the day. I've been using these for almost 40 years. I don't really see these around. I feel like they are my secret weapon.
